ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – When Denver Broncos general manager George Paton traded outside linebacker Bradley Chubb to the Miami Dolphins last week, Paton said the decision “really heated up’’ in the final hours before the trade deadline.
But, at the bottom line, Paton’s actions in the months before the deal showed, if and when a team made an offer good enough, he would be willing to trade a defensive captain as he did with Von Miller in 2021.
“We don't make this decision if we're not confident in the players and the coaches on our team,'' Paton said.
